This tutorial assumes...
- ...that you are running the Tutorial locally from within the Komodo
Help Browser. While it can be read online, the interactive functions
(such as re-sizing the workspace and creating sample projects) can only
be done from within the Komodo Help Browser.
- ...that ActivePython
2.0 or greater is installed on your system. ActivePython is a free
distribution of the core Python language. See Komodo's Installation
Guide for configuration instructions.
- ...that you have a connection to the internet.
- ...that you are interested in Python. You don't need to have previous knowledge of
Python; the tutorial will walk you through a simple program and suggest some
resources for further information.
